Negative voltage sources are widely used in various applications such as computing systems, liquid-crystal display (LCD) source drivers and audio amplifiers Zach Zhang, Staff Applications Engineer, ...

Some systems, such as optical networks, require more than one negative voltage. A common procedure is to boost the main negative supply of –5V to –10V and then reduce it with a linear regulator to –9V ...

Switching regulators are widely used in industrial, infrastructure, communications, consumer, and automotive applications. One of the most popular switching regulator topologies is the buck converter ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

Housed in an ultra-small package, a unique topology merges a switched capacitor and two-phase buck converter that can accept a 12V input and supply 1.2V output at 10A. 1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 ...
